•             Unique 15" Steel Wheels (2 sets)

•             Two 5 gallon fuel jugs

•             Lots of extra parts

THE GOOD:

This is a very solid car. I bought it from a guy in Madison, WI who had it stored from 1999 till I bought it in 2009. It has a title and is even has License plates registered to it in the State of Iowa. This is a remarkable well handling car. At the Iowa Speedway we could take any line into any corner and it stuck like glue. On the oval portion of the 25.5 hour race, it turned 29 second lap times and you only had to breathe the throttle going into turn 2. This car ran thru downpours without a single issue. You could steer the car easily with the gas due to the limited slip differential. Remarkable and solid braking performance. Not a ton of torque from the rotary but great high rpm power. This car is easy and a blast to drive!

THE BAD:

Has new 60k mile motor (questionable). The rear seal blew on the old motor getting it ready for a race last year. Everything is installed. Still working on getting the fuel pump and ignition to work. Needs exhaust pipe run from manifold to rear.

THE UGLY:

Has some dents from the last race thanks to overzealous drivers in an Acura Integra, Porsche 944, BMW 325i and a Subaru Imprezza (thanks guys!). It's only cosmetic and most dents will pop out. But it's a ChumpCar or LeMons racer and should look pretty to begin with.

BONUS:

Will thru in my Black RCI medium one piece Race Suit, RCI Race Gloves and size 9.5 Race Boots.

Also have extra set (8 total) of P205/50R-15 tires and 15' Unique wheels too!

If seriously interested, I would highly recommend calling me to discuss any concerns or questions. I will also be more than glad to send any pictures of anything you want to see. I love this car and have lots of great memories with her, but I have too many other toys and not enough time. . .

Thanks for looking!
